Show Notes

In this episode, Michael discusses the current state of the US Senate, specifically the stalled Save Act, which has majority support but is being blocked by Majority Leader John Thune. Michael argues that the Senate majority should be able to vote on the bill, and that the leadership structure allows for the conference to replace the leader if needed. The conversation touches on the importance of democratic control within the conference and the potential for a leadership change. Michael also shares historical examples of leadership transitions in the Senate and discusses the implications of the current situation for the institution and the voters who elected the Republican senators.
